8,790 YA: Fenicism is treated as a cult by the central government but is pretty harmless and spends most of its time arguing with these central Asians from Russia with how the supreme god works (@Centarian please what is the god(s) of this religion and some central myths. The Russian dudes call their god the sky father) and the nature of undergods, the afterlife, and how determinism relates to prophecies. After an Atlantian cult assassinates a Fenicist leader the Russians declare a blood feud on the Atlantians, showing they don’t really hate one another.
8,780 YA: minor Hungarian horse tribes invent saddles. Japanese and south Chinese make pirate colonies in Papua new guinea.
Their god is Fenic, by that time people have started thinking he is an incarnation of god and various rumors have been spread about how he had god-like powers and could walk on water. None of which are true but worshipers still believe it anyway, one guy likes the story so much he writes a book about it. He calls it: “The Revival”

heres a rule-breakingly long one about calenders.
8,740 YA the calender system becomes predominate in mainland atlantis (edit: magically after some atlantian steals it from a mysterious ship in scandenavia.) and the British isles. Fiorentian government sees it as cultural hedgemony and disallows it. the Fiorentian danubians, indo-europeans (a real world ethnic group that popped un about 8,000 years ago or so, the russians from here are them), Fenicists, and Slavs (why’d you name them after a irl ethnic group its awkward lol) ask if they can use whatever calender they want. Fiorento says nope, and declares a state calendar that is a 1:1 redux of the atlantian one, but with the current date being 2300. guess what happened 2300 years ago?
8,730 YA: Greece declares independence from Fiorento citing that all the ethnic minorities use a (brand new) lunar calendar and as such are totally different.
8,720 YA: Egypt gets in on the calendar fun, going with a solar calendar in which the current date is -3,720, as the current emperor has schizophrenia from centuries of inbreeding and said the gods were telling him that the world would end in 3,720 years.
8,700 YA Ljirica and Fiorento work together for the first time ever to invade Egypt for suggesting negative numbers exist. it doesnt work too well. much chaos. infighting. accidentally burning a thousand year old temple, yk, fun stuff.
8,690 YA: fiorento wins the ensuing war over who owns egypt. upper egypt remains independent. those Anatolian cities take the greek calendar.
The current Slavs are unknown to the Atlanteans, thought dead after several fires, starting the migrations.
arent they in scandinavia?
They broke in 2, both sides thinking the other died (Swedes and Slavs)
hmm so germania and Sweden?
The Swedes merged with an Atlantean colony to make a Germanic culture, and the Slavs settled in Finland and spread out eastward.
8,680 YA
The Slavic tribes see a meteorite land nearby. Upon further investigation, the rock is intact, and it is taken back to the tribe. The Slavs slowly form 7 Patriarchal groups, that all split apart, leading to just one, called Svensdisy, to wander towards the baltics.
8,675 YA
The Atlantean Germanic colony begins to spread out, as more population grows and better improvements are made, like reinforced huts and sturdy pieces of timber as farm fences. The Germanics slowly spread out to a land over the area of the north German confederation (as of 1867) and Denmark.
Anyway the other Slavic tribes are Blatrya, Volodymyr, Prosho, Masta, Hama, and Blyrusso
8, 670 YA: The Former Atlantean colonies send ships skipping down the coast, trading with the Misimecs and other South American tribes. They skip down the coastline, trading with them, and set up a few colonies south of their territory
(This depends on how far away the Galapagos are from the coast; Not quite sure. Please disregard if the distance is unrealistic)
8, 660 YA; a group of ships on their way to the colonies get blown severely off course in the storm, and while running low on supplies luck upon the Galápagos Islands.
8,850 YA; These Atlanteans set up there own colony, and then declare independence, all without main Atlantis knowing they exist. They call themselves the Independent Regions of Southern Atlantis, or the IRS Atlanteans.
They have developed effective seaweed and desalination farms, mainly eating a diet of seaweed, and attempted to use Tortoises as steeds until they realized they were too slow. Instead, they have tamed Marine Iguanas as attack dogs, training them with bits of seaweed tied around meat, and use the Galapagos tortoises as livestock, selectively breeding them to be bigger while also keeping the large shells to be used as tubs or very small (like one person) boat hulls.
They commonly keep finches as pets, and they have developed boomerangs with blades on the end on ropes (shuriken-boomerangs on ropes, takes skill not to get cut catching them) made of tortoise bones and shell to hunt finches and fish.
Edit: looked at some maps, Galapagos aren’t too far I don’t think
tis quite resonable that they could hit the islands if they were blown away from shore. they would definitely be independent. especially given that they are stuck. (reminder that compasses, astrolabes, and sky charts, dont exist. you have to be close to shore, always.)
Desalination is possible- but not on any large scale. not gunna be a 
about it so cool, yeh.
also you cant really domesticate reptiles. herding tortoises or taming them is fine though.
Why can’t you domesticate reptiles? Do they have a slow birth rate or something?
I think leaving them wild and then stealing eggs to raise for each generation could work right?
Like stealing eggs to add to either their already present herds or attack lizards
Did no one notice I called them the IRS Atlanteans? I thought that was the best part
They are too dumb to domesticate
Please bring back the map of the whole world. I need to know how far Fenicism spread and what’s going on in Africa.
